Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from Gemma Doyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
Not at the moment. People in my constituency tell me that their biggest concerns are about jobs. There are reports that there could be 1,700 local redundancies—[Interruption.] That illustrates the difference between Labour and SNP Members. I am talking about jobs in my constituency and not about independence, which is why I am not giving way at the moment. My constituents are concerned that there could be 1,700 local redundancies in my constituency alone as a result of the actions of this Tory-led Government. They are concerned about the impact of the VAT increase, spiralling fuel price increases, and the effects of cuts to tax credits and child benefits on their families. They fear the impact on local hospitals and their children's schools of the SNP's cuts to teachers and NHS staff.
